Lexan windows for the coupe

[terrybullwon]

Any one make these in the uk?

I have rear quarters looking for drivers and pasangers. Front and rear.

Cheers James

yeah....

the problem with door lexan is you need to have a frame around it.... i have seen some pretty nicely made setups, never put it into my plan though. i didnt even want to do it to the rears of mine. but since we do not have many windshields here i made that one lexan....

i would like to see solutions as well.

theres a company near me, aqualaze its called, cuts flanges etc out of anything using a cnc water cutter thingy majic but he said he could do lexan windows dead easy if i took an original window in or atleast a template(was for my 205 though but obviuosly makes no odds to him)
what about diy? steady hand and a jigsaw would have them cut out in no time

You planning on been shot at? Ha ha bulletproof glass. My brother uses it at work for signs, don't know if he can buy it from work though?

How do you solve the problem of the curves in the front windows and rear/frond windscreens? Lexan is in sheets of flats

Be interested if i can sort something? theres a UK company that already make S4 and UR and SQ Lexan windows, but no S2's I have seen the front windows some where with out a frame and made from Lexan as well i just cant think where?

Water jetting? I made a torque plate this way, i made my rears just like you said with a jig saw.

Would love to join in but at the very moment I am spending plenty knocking out the parts list I already have. I can see having the extra cash in Feb 2011 though James.

I see where your coming from james, the window glass, frames and motors are bloody heavy!
Cant see a problem with a bit of DIY cutting with the lexan for the front windows, but making a frame to keep them ridged and to the correct curve due to the coupes having frame-less doors will be the hardest task.

Seen a couple of S2 coupe's on Zatzy with framed lexan windows, cant remember which project threads though

Plastics4performance told me that they would cut anything if you sent them a template. It cuts nicely with a jigsaw as well if you want to do them all yourself. As for the windscreen it has to be glass for the MOT if you are going to use a plastic one for the track I think you would need some sort of support for it in the centre otherwise it will be all over the place.

[S2central.net]

RACMSA mandates laminated windscreen for all tintops as far as I can remember...

[terrybullwon]

Thanks for all the input guys please keep it comming!
